Veteran Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo has come out to defend her daughter, Priscilla, amid the emerging feud with Tanzanian socialite Mange Kimambi.
The recent development is coming several days after Priscilla walked down the aisle with her Tanzanian partner, Juma Jux. The wedding ceremony between Priscilla and Juma was well publicized due to the impressive duration of the nuptial ceremony, specifically, they had five wedding ceremonies in Nigeria and Tanzania, and have been sharing content on social media alongside all their guests.
Reacting to the series of events that unravelled, the Tanzanian socialite, Kimambi, took to her social media page to state that Tanzanians are currently fighting for their country as they head out for their elections soon. She said everyone is on the neck of the government and does not need any distraction from Priscilla and Juma.
Kimambi stated that Priscilla should wait for the next five months, when the elections are over, before releasing any content about herself and Juma.

In a strongly worded Instagram post, she addressed Kimambi directly and defended her daughter:
“@mangekimambi80
I’m appalled by your audacity! Referring to my daughter and her husband in such a manner, calling their content stupid, trying to drum fear and intimidation, this is unacceptable. As a parent, I’ve taught her to be confident and authentic. The Mkambala are very peaceful, but note I don’t joke with my daughter.
Regarding the wedding rumors, it’s not your government who gave us money, it’s a cultural tradition in my family, the wife’s family cover costs. I wanted an elaborate wedding for my daughter in Nigeria and we the Nigerians gave her one.
I’m an activist, and as one, I stand by my principles and fight for what I believe in, without insulting anyone or targeting anyone. True leadership requires presence and courage. It’s laughable that you, living in America, think you can dictate to my daughter and her husband, who are living their lives in Tanzania.
Keep my daughter out of your affairs. She’ll post what she likes, when she likes, and how she likes. She doesn’t need you to love her. She is very loved and well loved.
We protect our own… Never forget that…”
